while I was performing a Poultry Finished Product Standards test on
the turkey line, I found one of ten randomly selected birds
contaminated with fecal material.&nbsp;&nbsp; The fecal material was
on the inside area of the right wing close to the breast of the bird
(Drumette). It was green in color, pasty in consistency, and
approximately one quarter inch in size. I took regulatory control
action by stopping the turkey line immediately, informed and showed
Mr. the Assistant Plant Manager and Mr. (turkey evisceration
supervisor). The establishment started corrective actions. This
noncompliance is a failure to comply with the following regulations:
9 CFR381.65 (e).&nbsp; A similar occurrence was documented as noted
in block # 6A of this record.&nbsp; Failure to initiate effective
corrective actions and preventative measures could result in
additional regulatory and/or administrative actions. You are hereby
advised of your right to appeal this decision as delineated by
381.35 of 9 CFR.
